At the core of a sound data warehouse architecture are models, which, if designed properly, can properly capture complicated requirements and enable simplified consumption of data. In this largely un-modeled world, we still typically need to structure data to glean the most from it.

Privacy, high-speed access, usability, and storage are all important considerations that need to be taken into account when modeling. You may find yourself facing persistent questions such as, “Do you normalize, or flatten?” or “What’s the best way to structure keys?” or “How can you keep sensitive data secure?” Let Etico help you identify the answer to these questions and find the right balance for your specific needs.
